  Speaker 3: to the time.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: True. I get a lot of people because we've been
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: on the air. I've been on the air for so long,
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: and people that started with me are my age and hey, Bill,
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: I get this. I've been listening to you for thirty years.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: I get that, and I just tell them shut up.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: I don't want to hear it, but it's all. I've
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: been listening to you for thirty years. Okay, I've been
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: listening to you for thirty years, and I inevitably say,
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: you know, we've both gotten old together and you look
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: like utter crap.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: And you wear it horribly. See kind of quality connection
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: with your audience.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Okay, are you guys ready to go? It is time
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: on a Friday for a handle on the news, Amy,
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: Neil and me late. Sorry, Well, that housing affordability bill
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: that the President sort of yanks. Remember they had passed
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: overwhelmingly in the Senate and the House, I mean overwhelmingly,
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: and it attempts to well make housing more affordable a
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: bunch of different ways, making it easier to borrow money
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: and reduce red tape across the country. And the President
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: was set to pass it or sign it because it
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: had been passed, and literally it went off the table,
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: and I mean off the table because it had been
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: on the table. He was signing it, and then he
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: changed his mind and said nah, and they took away
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: the lectern and took away the lighting. And he now says, nope,
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: I want that Save Act. The what is it? The lawyer,
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: not the lawyer, the voting the idea, Yeah, thank you,
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: that's what I meant to say, voter id And he
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: thinks that's the most important thing in the world. He
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: says that, and does anybody care? I mean, who think
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: about this? Who cares about voting restrictions? How does it
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: affect anybody other than okay, you can't you have to
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: send in your vote a week earlier. Okay, how does
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: that affect us in the meantime? How about housing? You
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: think that affects anybody? And he said, oh no, the
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Save Act is far more important. The housing is no
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: big deal. So they passed it and he may veto it,
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: which I can't imagine he would. My god, the backlasher
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: would be incredible. So if it just sits there without
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: his signature, it becomes law for ten days. And if
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: he tries to veto it, let me put it this way,
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: eighty five to five in the Senate, three fifty eight
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: to thirty two in the House, that is well on
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: its way to make that bill veto proof. He could
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: veto it and there's enough in the House and send
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: it to override the veto. Very rarely does that happen.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: But you can't even figure out the politics of this.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: I have no idea why he would do that. Okay,
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: moving on.
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: Super soakers on the way, The National Oceanic and Atmospheric
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: Administration NOAH says there is now a ninety seven percent
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: chance and El Nino will either be strong or very
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: strong this fall. There's an eighty one percent chance it'll
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: be very strong. El Nino means there's going to be
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: a higher chance of above average rainfall for southern California,
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: and that increases the risk of wintertime flash floods and landslides.
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: Officials also warn that the climate pattern characterized by warmer
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: weather in the central and Eastern Ocean will also increase
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: the risk of heat waves on land and at sea.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: Wait, we get in rain or is it going to
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: be hot?
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, can be very strong. It's to both. I mean,
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: it's just a climate is all screwed up by the
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: way El Nino. Isn't that your nephew? Also?
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: How dare you?
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: You racist?
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: Actually it is.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: I know it is. But it's a small ones. It's
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: just the tiniest little small It's very big. That phrase
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: is very big in the dwarf community. It's okay, hanging
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: it out with dwarfs. Yeah, the Mexican dwarf community and
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: dwarf community dwarf.
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: Okay, what a scene man. So they're in Boil Heights.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: We all know about the fire that has a butt
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: ton of this food and stench, eighty five million pounds
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: of food thowed, burned, spoiled, terrible smell, rats, and tensions
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: there in Boil Heights reached an intense level. Just yet,
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: yesterday a residence showed up to a packed house. More
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: than two hundred people were turned away at the door
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: because the venue reached capacity. Of course, Los Angeles Mayor
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: Karen Bass struggled even to start the meeting over the
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: loud booze yelling of community members, actions that were repeated
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: as other elected officials took to the microphone. A chorus
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: of liar was shouted out at her. Booze were shouted
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: because of the the lineage warehouse fire and how they
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: were just frustrated.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: And what could be done? What are they doing? You
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: got what I understand, but I don't know what they
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: are not doing? Are they being slow on it? Is
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: there negligence?
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: Nothing we've been done that I'm aware of.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know what they could do.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: They bring in the bulldozers?
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: Do they whatever it takes?
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean there's and I'm just questioning this because
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: I don't know. We don't know enough about it. But
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: what could they do that they are not doing? I
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: guess destroy the building, but then you have the debris
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: and I don't know the answer, but.
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: You gotta do something, So why not do it now?
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: So do something now? But what if you don't know what?
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: I don't know. What's something?
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: Got to be a money thing or something where they're going?
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: But it's like no, no, I can't just leave a
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: pile of.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: Round And are they leaving it?
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: Just aren't they have something go into the palisades fire
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: and eating fire and start assessing the ground and everything else. Initially, yes,
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: but it wasn't rotting food.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: It wasn't. It's it's I.
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: Think, where does rotting food go?
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: Now? It goes to rot, that goes to where we
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: take rot. It goes to the big rotting place in
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: the sky.
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: You want to go over there and see anything, If
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: anything is good as left, you and me probably could
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: clear out of that.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: That's true.
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: Don't even think about it. Huntington Beach Police are warning
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: online organizers and promoters who are trying to put together
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: an end of summer beach bash or a takeover. They
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: said that they do not want to see a repeat
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: of Newport Beaches fourth of July, in which over four
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: hundred people were arrested. They were chasing people off the
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: beach with horses. The crowd looted a pavilions, got into
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: people's houses, and generally caused mayhem. So Huntington Beach says, yeah,
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: don't even think about it.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: And Huntington Beach Police are no joke. They proudly wear
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: those swastika tattoos. Oh they're pretty conservative. I wouldn't tell you.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: It's a very right wing little community. The last place
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: I'd go ransacking someone's homes in Orange County. Flag equals
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: gun inside pretty much today, pretty much, all right?
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: Iran. Iran hatched a fresh plot, apparently to kill Trump.
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: This is what Isla is telling Trump. You gotta wonder
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: if you wanted to get under Trump's skin, that's what
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: you tell.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: I would go the other way on that. I would
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: go the other way if there weren't threats against Trump.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: He would say, why why aren't people threatening my life?
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: You know, come on, there's a true narcissism.
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: Why are they threatening other people not me?
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: I'm doing this at seven o'clock, by the way, because
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: there's a there's a whole story here.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: So yeah, this is just is reel sharing intelligence for
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: the US.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: And why and is it true? Is it not?
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: Well? Did you see some of the signs they were
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: showing on the news where they have killed Trump on
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: the signs and a bullet going through the name Trump?
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but that was is that local? Or is that yeah?
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: But they were showing it on the news here. I mean, that's.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: Forward. And Trump is delighted because instead of just death
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: to America. It's death to Trump. Trump said, it's about
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: time you recognize.
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: That it was realteresting. It's always well, I'm sure Bush
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: bush Is and the like had their face on science.
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: A little late for regrets. Maybe The twenty three year
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: old who's accused of killing conservative activist Charlie Kirk apparently
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: told his roommate about it shortly after the shooting. He
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: said he wished he hadn't done it. The video interview
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: of the roommate was played in a courtroom in Utah yesterday.
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: Prosecutors presented the recording as key evidence in a week
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: long preliminary evidentiary hearing, and the judge is expected to
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: decide by the end of today whether there's enough evidence
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: to take the case to trial.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: I have I don't know the last time I've heard
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: of a preliminary hearing like this. It's enough just you
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: have the smallest, tiniest bit of evidence and the judge
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: binds it over for trying.
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: Well, they just did this with the David thing too,
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: though they had They've got all these pre trial things.
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: Now they're going to do evidentiary hearings to decide and
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: all that.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: It's well, if you're doing evidence your hearing at this point,
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: and the only thing that makes sense is that these
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: motions are decided now by the judges, opposed to being
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: decided prior to the trial. But other than that, of
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: course he's going to be bound I hate. What I
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: dislike is the new saying, well, we're going to see
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: if it's going to be bound over for trial. It is.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: The chances of going through preliminary hearing and not being
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: bound over one in one thousand. Anyway, quick tip matches.
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: Matches. What else? Flint rock? There's a lot of ways
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: to start a fire. Yeah, if you've ever taken any
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: mountain training, Well, this man must not have known that.
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: A man from Indiana charged with a felony after he
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: was accused of cutting off his own genitals and using
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: them to start a fire. I don't.
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: I didn't know those were incendiary devices either.
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: Little grenades. I don't.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's weird.
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: I mean, so this took back took place back in May,
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: and he was charged with arts and after he said
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: he cut off his own penis, doused it with gasoline
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: and lit it on fire.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: And the police did show up.
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they thought it was a barbecue.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: Yea, And the police showed up, and he did say
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: when they walked in past the.
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: Dijon, what's it? Oh?
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: Very strong, very strong?
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: Oh man, you know what this this freaking fascist country
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: we live in. It's gotten to the place where you
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: can't burn your own penis.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: I are, you know, without getting arrested.
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: What's next? No fireworks? On the fourth of July. Nazi goal.
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: I love saying that that's.
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: The whitest goal I've ever heard.
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: Do you remember Heather Jordan who used to be an
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: anchor here?
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I love she.
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: She has been doing stuff with the LAFC. She is
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: the stadium announcer in Dallas for World Cup. Wow, And
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: so the other day when they were playing, I could
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: hear her saying, go, it was very cool.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: I wish here women's stadium announcers. What bell? What the
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: hell happened? I mean life?
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: They drive now too, Bill, unbelievable.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: We love to job well. And yeah, the voting I
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: can see just barely. But other than that, I don't get.
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: It all right. Killian Mbappe spread his arms out wide
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: and spun around after scoring his eighth goal of this
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: year's World Cup. That means that he has twenty goals
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: in his World Cup career. It came in his twentieth
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: match at the tournament, which moves him just one behind
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: Argentinian legend Lionel Messi.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: Soccer is in its heydays. I mean, yep, it's neat
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: that the United States has lost. Well, yeah, I mean
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: I was a given in the United States is a
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: lot I would lose because it's just not a world
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: power when it comes to soccer. But how we've accepted soccer.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: It was the poor stepsister of sports and now s
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: it's become a thing and a big thing, which is
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: kind of neat.
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: Yep, big thing. And there's the last match at so
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: Far is today at noon.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and the I wonder what the tickets are for
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: the World champion, you know, the cup winner. We haven't
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: been for the.
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: Final, yeah, on the nineteenth or whatever.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm wondering how much they're going for.
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: Well, it's some of them at so Fire going for
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: like seventeen eighteen, nineteen thousand, nineteen thousand. Ye, the cheap
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: seats are going for eleven hundred.
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm assuming this is secondary market, right, yeah? Is
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: anybody even able to get face value on these games.
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: Well, I'm guessing that they sold out, didn't they.
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: Oh, of course, although the hotels are saying they didn't,
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: and that's another story.
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: Well, no, that got flipped. If you remember we talked
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: about this early on, the hotels were not getting a
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: response that they thought they were going to and they
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: were very concerned early on. However, last minute people came through.
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: So last minute they started booking rooms. And so it's end.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: Up still not to the level. I mean some are
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: reporting that they did that they're doing worse than a
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: normal summer.
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: All the prices have dropped. See so you can get
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: almost well you're in the lower bowl for sixty six dollars.
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: So as the last tournament game in Los Angeles is
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: on Friday, hotels are uh popular now with soccer fans,
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: and they're full and they're charging higher rates actually, so
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: they're still you know, it's not hitting everyone, but the
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: ones that have been taken care of say that it's
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: there being saved by this last minute rush. So people
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: are going in there, which is good. They need they
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: need help. I think we're gonna have a resurgence of
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: hotels again. I think that it's getting so expensive to
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: do Airbnb or Verbo or anything, and you have to
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: jump through a lot of hoops and you don't get
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: somebody cleaning the rooms and doing stuff like that.
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: I do love having my room clean.
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: I love a good hotel now. I love an Airbnb too.
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: You know, you get a pool and you do all
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: that stuff. But there's something about room service and being
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: close to you know, some of these places. Palm Springs
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: is lovely to go to. Maybe not so lovely right now,
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: but things like that. You go out to Marongo and
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: the weather's great, and they've got the they've got the
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: lazy river.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: I like a lazy now. Is it because you're lazy?
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah? And I like rivers.
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah.
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: I would just float by and people would try and
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: use me as a flotation to mind because you look
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: like a yeah, this will fit for honey, bring the kids.
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: Warner Brothers is going to be the home base for
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: the LA Olympics, the Warner Brothers Ranch in Burbank. It's
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: going to be the broadcast headquarters. They made the announcement
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: yesterday that the thirty acre Hollywood Way campus would play
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: a pivotal role in the games, constructing an efficient TV
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: nerve center the operational hub where feeds from events are
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: produced and distributed to hundreds of millions of viewers around
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: the world.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: I am assuming that this is about offering broadcasting an
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: office space to various outlets around the world that the
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: Olympic Committee says, here is where you can about, This
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: is where your reporters can be, This is where your
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: central control is going to be.
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: Makes sense.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and we have all the equipment, we have all
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: the lines, everything's ready to go. I'm assuming that that's
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: the case.
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: That's right. Just that's right down the street from here.
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: It's got sixteen down stages, a five story creative office building.
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: So yeah, it's got everything that they need.
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, except all the really cool original sets that had
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: torn down recently. All right, quickly eviction averted. You know,
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: there's these formerly homeless people who are being housed with subsidies.
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: In light that we're supposed to expire in December, we're
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: no longer at risk because there's been an infusion of
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: new funds by Congress.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: I misunderstand the funding was expiring or the people were
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: going to expire the way.
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: You said that. No, if the people were going to expire,
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: then this wouldn't be an issue.
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: That's correct, But then you have the same situation you
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: have at that food center because you have the rotting smell,
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: and it would be very.
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: Very differently on the house and the unlive. No, so
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: they they're that waiver has changed things. Now they've got
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: the money.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's federal and it's federal money that came in,
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: which is surprising.
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: And they all have to wear Trump shirt.
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: Yes, that's true.
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: That's where they get you. There's the rough.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because I thought, and this is last minute money
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: coming in because they had already said you're going to
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: be evicted. They sent out thousands of hey, you're going
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: to be evicted notices.
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: Okay, well, the cupboards are almost bare at LAUSD. County
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: analysts say the district is facing severe indications it will
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: be insolvent by November of twenty twenty seven, that it
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: will fall two hundred and thirty one million dollars into
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: the red and won't be able to make payroll. The
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: county has appointed a fiscal expert to work with the
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: district to eliminate the projected deficit. They've got forty five
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: days to find a way to fix it. LA School
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: Superintendent Andres Chape suggested there's no need for alarm.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: Of course not. And LA Unified still has the same
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: problems that always had that's never been able to attain,
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: and that is producing literate graduates.
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: They need to break a cycle. There's something going on
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: that just it's too big.
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: It's too big, and it's too management heavy, and it's
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: it's it'll not even do it.
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: They're better than we are.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And I don't know, maybe they don't have as
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: much management.
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: All right, this is a bummer, and you should know
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: better as federal agents. But the federal agents that were
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: caught up in that shooting in Houston, they didn't have
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: body cameras. In this modern age with specially when you're
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: under the microscope and people don't trust you as an
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: organization or any of those things. How can you go
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: out without body cams.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: Especially federal agents. Now you can't argue, we can't afford it.
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: They are literally drowning in money. So signed Trump administration
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: is doing for immigration makes it even worse. And it's
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: their usual line. It was the driver weaponized his car
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: and I mean all of that, and you know it's
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: just not going to fly.
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: Keep your hands and feet inside the vehicle at all times.
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: We all hear those warnings, but apparently another person has
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: decided to ignore that. For the second time in less
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: than a month, a guest at Disneyland has climbed out
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: of the log ride boat on Tiana's By You Adventure,
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: that one that used to be Splash Mountain. The latest
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: one happened on July fourth. I was there, didn't see it.
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: A cast members the ride. They watched the rides on
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: closed circuit TV and noticed a child climb out of
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: the boat. The cast member stopped the ride. Now, if
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: you'll remember, back on June twenty first, a thirteen year
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: old climbed out of the boat just before it did
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: the big drop at the end of the ride. And
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: then that child went down the drop without a boat.
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: Have you noticed and you just literally it was just
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: a description that Okay, it's a given a guest at
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: Disneyland and a cast member. By the way, it's not
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: just Disney, It's it's corporations across the country. For example,
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: you are a guest at Target. Huh Sales Associates. I
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: how is a janitor part of a cast?
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: They are because they're all part of the show. If
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: you can see them, they're part of the show.
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: I don't no interact with them, Yeah you are, No,
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: because they're not. They're not acting as janitors. They really
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: are are Janet. That's not that job is not the
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: acting part. The acting part is being nice to people
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: like you. Oh yeah, I don't understand that. And I
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: just wondered where that when it become became that it's
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: always been ketch No, I don't know, it has not
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: for what it has not. I think Michael Eisner put
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: in the concept of cast member.
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: Huh.
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: But but everybody does it. You know, it's not It's
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: not Disney by itself. I mean there is no uh,
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: there literally is no park that doesn't that refers to
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: their employees as employees.
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: Well, corporate here calls us all useless trash.
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but they're more honest here. Yeah. No, what they do.
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: Even our union calls us artists, which is like beyond
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: comprehension with you. Yeah, and we are and uh, you've
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: heard this before. We are talent. That is the word
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: that is used to describe us.
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: On the air.
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: We are talent, not talented.
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: I can't get that up out of my mouth about myself.
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: I couldn't tell someone, Hey, I'm the talent.
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: Disney started calling them cast members in the sixties.
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, this was Walt.
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: Disney instituted the change to reinforce the idea that theme
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: park was an immersive theatrical production.
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: All right, So it was all right. So it happened
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: before that. It happened before Eisner. I thought it was Eisner.
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: They did it, it was the man himself.
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I always thought that it was Walt, the.
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: One mustache person in the entire organization. Are they allowed
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: to have mustaches?
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: Now they have their beards? I think down too.
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: The women and the other thing that was that total laughing.
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: The other thing that I find which I never understood
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: and today I still don't. Tattoos are so accepted that
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: when Amy was kind of enough to take me and
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: my daughter did disney Land and it was fabulous, it
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: was just fabulous, we had run into a few of
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: the employees. I'm talking about the guides, uh, these gals
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: and the plaid.
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: The cast members, I call them the plaid.
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, their plates, tattoos on their arms straight out and
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: not covered, not covered.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: You know what.
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: They used to have to wear sleeves to cover.
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: Them, to cover them. Amy has a Disney tattoo on
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: her back. It says, you have to be this toll
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: to ride this ride.
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: That's actually fun though, you know what, that's actually pretty good. Okay,
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: we're going to leave it at that point. Okay, oh really,
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: that's where we're going to leave it. No, No, let's
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: talk about No, let's let's talk about one of my
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: favorite stories. What happened?
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: You want to do another? Okay, Idaho madam?
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah?

• 29:51
  Speaker 2: He made it, he made it.
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: He got bit bless him.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: Problem is he got bit right on his vein and
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: went right into his system. Oh that is not good.
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: You die very quick with that. But he didn't. He survived,
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: which is good and very luxury.
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: Like cleaning the place out. I don't think they had
• 30:07
